Desaparecidos

About Desaparecidos

Desaparecidos is an Omaha, NE based band, lead by frontman Conor Oberst.

The band’s name is the Spanish word for The Disappeared, referencing those who were illegally imprisoned or murdered during the Right-Wing dictatorships of South America’s Southern Cone beginning in the mid-1970’s under the U.S. funded and coordinated Operation Condor.

The band’s lyrics tackle everything from political and social injustice, hyper-consumerism,-commercialism, and -capitalism in the U.S, and rigid-gender norms and their relation to capitalism.
